UMUR
A God´s Lie is the debut full-length studio album by Indian death/ thrash metal act Devoid. The album was released by Demonstealer Records.

The music on the album is thrash metal with the occasional touch of melodeath. Slayer seems to be the main influence but early The Haunted and Dew-Scented and at times traditional US thrash metal act Exodus are also valid references. The music is well played, powerful and holds a lot of memorable hooks. Something that a lot of acts neglect to focus on when they write songs. The vocals are aggressive and gives the music the right angry twist. We´re not talking something terribly unique here but the quality level both when it comes to the musicianship and the compositions is high.

The production is pretty raw but still professional and suits the music well.

It´s interesting to see more and more metal acts come out of India. Who would have thought that just 10 years ago. I guess the fast growing middle class in that country are one of the main reasons for that development. Whatever reason a band like Devoid certainly puts India on the brutal thrash metal map and A God´s Lie is a quality thrash metal album fully deserving 3.5 stars. A more unique approach would have earned them 4 stars but I hear great promise here.
